3. After a session is set up, BFD quickly sends detection packets. VCCV ping is used to
periodically check the information consistency of the control plane and data plane.
4. When a dynamic BFD session detects a status change of the PW, BFD instructs the
L2VPN to trigger route convergence. If a neighbor is unreachable, BFD instructs the
L2VPN to delete the related session.
NOTE
For details of BFD for LDP LSP, refer to the chapter "MPLS Configuration" in the Configuration Guide
- MPLS.
The format of the BFD Discriminator TLV in a VCCP ping packet is the same as the format of
the BFD Discriminator TLV in an LSP ping packet, as shown in Figure 6-6.

PWE3 FRR
With the board applications of PWE3, the requirement for network reliability becomes
increasingly higher, especially for L2VPNs that bear real-time services such as VoIP and IPTV
services.
PWE3 FRR is a solution that can increase the reliability of L2VPNs.
PWE3 FRR is used in the following networking:
Asymmetrically connected CEs
One CE is connected to a PE through an AC and the other CE is dual-homed to PEs through two
ACs, as shown in Figure 6-7.
